Description :
The Eminent Technology LFT-8B is the floorstand version of the LFT-16. With long ribbon panels for the mids and highs, and an 8 inch woofer that can reproduce music as low as 25Hz that you won't even need considering a subwoofer. The LFT-8B versions come with an inbuilt super tweeter upgrade. As normal tweeters can reach a frequency of 20kHz, the new super tweeters allow the high frequency to reach 50kHz. This upgrade allows the sound to be even more natural. String instruments like violins when being played, their extensions slowly fade into the background rather than an abrupt cut off. These pair of speakers are very musical and sound airy that can fill large rooms spaces. They give a long lasting impression of a hall concert effect. It's musical quality and wide frequency range allows you to play the most difficult classical music pieces at ease.

Ribbon speakers are well known for their airy sound properties that are similar to wide soundstage hall like sound. Also, ribbon speakers provide very little discoloration in the sound reproduced. That is...the sound is as close as natural. That is why other similar ribbon speakers like the Apogee's and Magneplaners are so famous.
